knitting is a good way to pass the time

Patrolling at night in a well-known make-out spot, just before midnight, a Ranger sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing. The Ranger carefully approaches the car to get a closer look, where he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, knitting. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the Ranger walks to the car and gently raps on the driver’s window.

The young man lowers his window … “Uh, yes, officer?”

“What are you doing?”

“Well, isn’t it obvious? I’m reading a magazine, sir.”

Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the Ranger says: “And her-what is she doing?”

The young man shrugs: “Sir, I believe she’s knitting a pullover sweater.”


Now, the Ranger is totally confused. A young couple, alone, in a car, at night, in a lovers’ lane, and nothing obscene is happening! “What’s your age, young man?”

“I’m 25, sir.”

“And the young lady… what’s her age?”

The young man looks at his watch and replies, “She’ll be 18 in 11 minutes.”
